Best Time for the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Breakfast

The Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Breakfast can be done year-round, as it only takes a few hours from Kathmandu. However, the high-altitude location (5,364m above sea level) means mountain weather is unpredictable, with limited flying opportunities during the monsoon and winter seasons. Although flights are subject to weather conditions, the best seasons for this tour are Autumn (September to December) and Spring (March to May), when the skies are clear and the mountain views are at their most spectacular.  

Travel Insurance for the  Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Breakfast

Travel insurance is not mandatory for the Everest Base Camp Helicopter Tour with Breakfast​​​​​​, but we highly recommend purchasing a good insurance policy that covers risks and emergencies. For high-altitude treks like Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, and the Annapurna Circuit Trek, travel insurance is essential. When choosing a policy, make sure it includes emergency evacuation, medical expenses, hospitalization, international flight cancellations or delays, and coverage for lost or stolen valuables and baggage.
